RAMEKIN'S ARCH NEMESIS: NIK EMAR

We never had a name for the character Dennis Hopper had signed on to play in the Ramekin film (This was back when he would do anything, script or not. So, 1975-2008), and we never had a charater for the name Nik Emar that Kenny just came up with last week. So, I decided to combine the two. At least for now. All of this can be nixed. Or Nikked?

I also decided to go with a younger Dennis Hopper, Rebel Without a Cause era. Except I think I rounded his jaw a little more when i inked it. Shoulda been slightly sharper. Is this what he'll look like in the main story? Or is this him as a youth criminal from the flashbacks? Will there be flashbacks?

Oh, and since in my first character design stab he's just a guy in jeans and a t-shirt, I decided to Kirby him up a bit, give him that "you're not from around here" look all the girls clamor for.
